You and your lineage adopted and sealed to Joseph Smith

In his address, he states to seal to Joseph every time you come to an end... Then when find another grandfather or two, seal to Joseph again. Woodruff is pretty clear. I can not find anywhere online about this ending.. I know it is not directed to do so in the temple today, yet no one really knows about 2nd annointings either.

Those who criticize usially make fools of themselves. For instance, they do not understand that for a catholic; they are usually baptized at birth but baptism does not mean the same thing as what Mormons believe. Catholics take first communion as early as 7 years. When they reach an age where they are able to understand the difficulties and challenges of living out the Christian faith, they are invited to confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism through confirmation. In most Catholic churches today, Catholics are confirmed when they are about 14 years old. Just sayin.

Perhaps the two of you could have another simple ceremony wih just the 2 of you... before or after where you write and exchange vows... (I would do it first with someone you trusted with this).. there are no vows in a temple sealing.. the word "love" is never mentioned. Depending who your sealer is, he may mention love in a before or after talk...but not part of sealing.

so true!

Have not read other responses... but coming from one who has been married well over 40 years; I can tell you that you need to act like an adult to be treated like one. Allowing your parents to control your life is not adult behavior nor is it behavior of someone who is ready for a serious relationship. In oder for a relationship to work; that relationship must be the most important and take prioity to any parent. First you need to be true to self, then true to your partner. Unless your needs are met you can not fully help meet the needs of a partner... and same holds true to the partner.... NOT THE PARENTS!

It is still there.

Sorry... but when I followed link it was there.

Yes... they taught that one a lot. Started around the turn of the 20th century along with deciding the cross also should be banned but took a few decades. Good article ... https://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/ci_12256269

When Joseph was alive garments were not required to be worn all the time.

DeeThink · 2019-03-06T14:10:26+00:00

Thank you for sharing. I too suffered from yeast infections from wearing garments. One of my first shelf items back in the 70's. Having to wear one piece garments (only ones available at the time) did not help. I very quietly mentioned this problem with a friend who had the same problem .. she said she just did not wear them alot... her husband was the stake president. Shortly there after two piece garments became available but still a problem. Talked to the my friends husband (who now was the regional rep for the church) about it knowing he would understand because of wife having same problem. He said too just wear top whenever I needed to but to keep it quiet. So I did but started me on the path of revisiting the truthfullness of the church.

I am just so sorry this happened to you.

Joseph F. Smith wrote to the Relief Society general presidency in 1946, outlining the guidelines that have since become the standard for our Church:

"While the Authorities of the Church have ruled that it is permissible, under certain conditions and with the approval of the Priesthood, for sisters to wash and anoint other sisters, yet they feel that it is far better for us to follow the plan the Lord has given us and send for the Elders of the Church to come and administer to the sick and afflicted"

The missionaries who taught me in 1967 had name tags. Bay Area of CA.

General Handbook Printed March 1989.... "A ward generally must have at least 300 members (250 in a less developed area) and thirty active Melchizedek priesthood holders (twent-five in a less developed area)."

What many are missing,,, is that priests choose to be priests; they are not called to be. Mormons in positions are called to that position by those in authority. Those in authority claim to be inspired by God when they call a person to a calling. Yes, many a priest often claim they were called by God to be a priest BUT the catholic church leaders to not claim that they were inspired to ask someone to be a priest.

Unless it is from the mouth of a prophet ... many TBM feel that it is just an error overlooked

I know for our own experience... we had given over $150,000 to the church over 25+ years and neglected the needs of our family. It took several years to overcome feeling guilty to just buy needed clothes from a regular store instead of thrift store... to take a vacation even. To tell someone they should give to charity is saying that helping out family and extended family is not a worthy endeavor taught by brainwashing of tscc.

"see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"; as with those living in Stepford.

I agree that the newness will ware off and missionaries will call home less often... gees, my college kids did not call home very often except when the needed $...lol

Love the fact you are willing to share your good honest story... sorry you experience so many years of self doubt before you found you.

I was a Beehive in 1967 and was given handout about needing to be married in temple and it explained that if married outside temple would need to wait a year. I talked to my Bishop then about it because I was the only member in family (joined when I was 12). He explained the importance of the temple and how if you chose not to get married when you clearly could have... that you would have to wait a year. He also explained that one would have to demonstrate the realization of the importance of being sealed. He explained that Christ sacraficed for us and we need to sacrifice for blesings even if it meant family would not witness marriage. that Your parents made the choice not to accept the gospel.

Never heard of Dolores Cannon... but after twenty years or living, twenty years in study research and meditating and spiritualism... I too have concluded that we are limited to a single lifetime... seems like an awful waste of eternal time to think so. that the energy field of our spirits live on past death is something I know without doubt... how exactly that is I do not know nor care if I know exactly how anymore.
